Thanksgivig Extravaganza 2007

Well it wasn't really an extravaganza per say, but it sure was a whole lot of fun packed into a couple days. For all of you who are interested (humor me if you aren't) then here's a little about our week. We got to spend time with the Hutcheson side of the family on Wednesday for a healthy feeding on pizza (I know, now your traditional Thanksgiving dinner), and as always it was quite fun and rather loud. Thanksgiving morning Brandon, Kristy, and I decided we were going to run the Atlanta 1/2 Marathon. Mind you, we had been training and we were all very excited when we awoke at 5:00am to shorts and t-shirt weather! Unfortunately our excitement quickly faded as we were approaching the start line and the heavens opened. As an Atlantan experiencing one of the worst droughts in history it was hard for me to be sad about the rain, but when your running shoes are filled with water even before you hit the 1/2 mile mark you know you are in for it. Luckily, Kristy was the voice of sanity and we decided that once we hit the first Marta station we were out of there. It would have been about the least fun 13.1 miles of our lives; it was raining so hard that we couldn't look up without the rain pelting our eyes. Needless to say, we woke up at 5:00 to get in a quick 2.5 mile run in... good thing we got our shirts the day before!! I do have to give props to Brandon because he finished the race and in quite an impressive time I might add! I only wish I had a picture to show you all how drenched we were, and it wasn't from sweat.
The rest of our weekend was filled with fun and food in excess! We had two dinners on Thanksgiving, and got to hang out in Macon for a couple days before returning to ATL. Q had so much fun playing with her cousins and getting spoiled by family.
Q and MC playing kitchen!

H and Q playing bumper cars...she would run him into things.

Tickle Me Uncle Britt! (Catch the spoof on Tickle Me Elmo???)

It was also the first time I ever got up to go shopping the Friday after Thanksgiving. You might think that I'm crazy, but I left the Lockhart's house at 7:30 and returned with my spoils (a great Christmas tree that was $280 off at JCPenny) by 7:55... good old Centerville Mall! There will be pictures to come, even when B saw it he said, "boy that looks like a real tree"... success! B got to practe his barbering skills yet again, he cut Nate's, Pop Pop's, and his own hair in a matter of about an hour. I'm telling you, he's for hire!
I think I had more hair on me than Nate did when all was said and done.

He thought cutting Uncle Brit's hair has a blast, yes, he is really cutting it! Only B trusts a 3 year old with clippers!
The finished product. How handsome!

And to top it all off B got to go to the UGA/GT game with his bro, bro-in-law, and pops. Fun was had by all (well maybe not so much for Brandon since his Jackets lost). Here is a great picture I found from the game!
